Saturday we went downtown to meet Renee's aunt and uncle for lunch and got a chance to go to the aquarium, see Bourbon Street during Mardis Gras, and catch part of a Mardis Gras parade on Canal Street.
We caught the sting ray feeding at the aquarium. He hand-fed them some broccoli and then squirted some worms into the water.
A very large lobster.
A barracuda coming at Renee's head.

From the aquarium we met Renee's aunt and uncle at The Court of Two Sisters for a delicious lunch. The weather was perfect outside...sunny, crisp, and clear at about 65 degrees.
From there Renee and Scott walked up and down Bourbon street.
People grabbing for beads that were thrown from the balcony above.

Ahhh...the memories of the French Quarter...I envy your weather!
Did you catch any beads? I think it must have been fun. You were even just in your shirt sleeves. I agree with KT. Enjoy your weather!
